His heart is a prison cell
and I am a repeat offender.
He found me guilty of not being good enough
so he shackled me in with every embrace.
I'm hoping for 25 to life!
Inspired by sonnet 113 on Shmoop

Fret not in your forlon
fortress for the vultures
will keep you company.
Cloaked in black,they await you.

Taunted by your dreams,you see them dancing around your grave... but alas,it is not your flesh they crave.

It is your wealth they lust after.They scent the gold encircled around your bony,blue fingers.

Humming a chorus of doom,they loom near...
for don't you see?
They find Life in Death.

Claws out,they will strip you clean! So robe yourself in honesty and peer out of your misery.

For a humble sparrow awaits you.

If I..
Told you that maybe,
Just maybe I will forget that I ever loved you
That maybe there is a chance I can move on.
I would have lied.
You will exit my life,
But your essence will remain forever.
You will sustain my existence forever.
You will always matter... forever.

We were A romance,
Born out of innocence.
Formed from tectonic plates,
That eventually,
Tear us apart like,
Earthquakes can pull continents apart.

We may drift far but
Our hearts will always beat in time.
You will always be mine,
Even when you belong to someone else.
I will find beauty even in the ugliest situations.

The universe is a harsh place.
We cannot hear our broken metronome,
Above all the noise.

Encrypted lies whispered,
kisses blown.
Two strangers fall in love.

Encrypted lies deciphered
encoded as the truth.
The norm of hearts in denial.

Encrypted lies wrapped
in rose petals
reeking of punctured promises.

Encrypted lies discovered
extinguishing the flame,
fingers pointed.
Who is to blame?

Encrypted lies forgotten
but love not.
Heartbreak is an easy price to pay than to fall for false pretence.

the tobacco seeps into his lungs while he sleeps,maybe he's choking in his dreams
a mother smoking with a baby on her back

the sky is blue but not as much as you make me feel
***** you
